The President, to whom I hastened to communicate the information, inetruct me to express, through you, his deep regret that Hawaii has lost a wise and Rood sovereign, under whose beneficent rule the people of Hawaii have prospered, and whose efforts hare been so constantly and signally put forth to i trengthen the ties of mutual advantage between hid kingdom and the United States. ' The President furtber directs me to request you to convey to the royal family the heartfelt sympathy he feels for their frreat affliction. Accept, Mr. Minuter, the renewed assurance of my fcULest consideration, James O. Blalve. There will be no further action by the executive until official notice shall have "been received of the formal installation of Cueen Liliuokalani. which notification can iardlr be given inside of thirty days. Instructions have, however, been sent to the major-general commanding the Division of the Pacific and the admiral commanding the naval forces on the Pacific station to Day full military and naval honors tc the dead King. Acting under these instructions the army and naval authorities at San Francisco have assumed charge of the federal arrangements, and the transfer of the remains to the llag-ahip Charleston will be marked by the higheat military honors authorized by tho regulations. The war ship Charleston has been placed entirely at tbe disposal of the Hawaiian authorities. She will L specially prepared for the reception of the body, and will make the trip to Honolulu ?is rapidly as possible. She will also remiin at that port to participate in the ceremonies attending the burial of the K;nt; and coronation of his successor, and Vili at the same time see that the interests t Kia iinnntrv a rn nl!tr nrnfeftted-

There is no precedent to follow, as this is the first instance where the ruler oi a foreign country haa died on American eoiL It la said, however, that there will be ample time for further action when the government is advised of the installation of the new ruler. Secretary Blaine said this afternoon that the United States had lost a good friend in King Kalakaua, and would do every mssiDie honor to his memory. "Our relations with Hawaii." he said, "are of the friendliest character, and so far as 1 am able to judge will be in no wise affected by the change of government. 'I have confidence in the friendship and good will of Queen Liliuokalani, and have no reason to doubt that she will perceive the wisdom of continuing the friendly intercourse of the two countries." Air. Carter, the Hawaiian minister to "Washington, said this afternoon that the death of King Kalakaua will in no wise affect the peaceful condition of ail airs in Hawaii. T can see no reason," he Continued, "why his death should cause any complications whatever.

It is probable that the only per- . f ilial following to accompany the dead - Kinir back to Honolulu will consist of .Colonels MacFarlane and Baker, of his etall. and the servants who attended him thither. Upon arriving at Honolulu the Charleston will fire minute gunsduringdebarkation. Consul McKinlev said to-day that un questionably the arrival of the Charleston upon this mission would be a shock to the VeopTeox Honolulu. Notre Dkiue't Postmaster Reappointed.

It became known to day that on Dec. 9 last Captain O'Shea wrote a letter to Mr. Justin McCarthy de manding that he should apologize for hint ing, during the course of a speeh delivered at the Leinster Hall meeting, that a different color would have been given to Mr. Paraell's conduct in connection with Mrs. O'Shea, if, during the divorce proceeding, Captain O'Shea had been cross-examined. To this demand, acoording to Captain O'Shea, Mr. McCarthy is said to have replied with several letters classed as "shuttiine" communications by the Captain and his friends. Captain O'Shea, then, on Jan. 15. addressed a letter to Mr. McCarthy denouncing his replies as "contemptible quibbling,'' adding, "however funny you must always appear as a leader of men. illconstructed dummy that you are, the straw starting from every seam, 1 acknowledge you possess two qualifications for your J resent post meanness ana mennacity. Captain O'Shea'a letter has created quite a stir in Irish parliamentary circles, and a warm reply from Mr. McCarthy is looked forward to. ' - MILDER WEATHER. Slight Illse In Temperature Throughout Europe Gales and Snow-Storms. Lonion. Jan. 22. Telegraph communi cation in Berlin, Paris and this city, is greatly interrupted owing to the stormy weather. In northern France and Ger many the weather has become milder. Gales and rain and snow-storms are reported in Austria and Lakes Gmunden, n alls tad t, Wolfgang and Attersee are frozen over. Generally pea king the temperature is milder, but it is still below the freezing point. The lat est reports from all parts of England show an average rise in temperature of 25 degrees, the mercury now standing at the highest point it has reached since November. A southwesterly gale prevails on the Scotch and Irish coasts. Kain is fallinz in all parts of the king dom. On the continent the thaw is lesti de cided. Several trains and snow-plows are stuck last in the snow near Gumpoldskirchen, Austria. The passengers were compelled to leave the cars and wade through the deep snow to the nearest statvoii. Numerous fatalities, due to the exceedingly rigorous weather, are reported from all parts of the country. They include cases of men being frozen to death, with their horses, while driving.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Emperor William Thinks Smokeless Powder May Pot an End to Wars. Berlin. Jan. 21. The Saale Zeitung, yes terday, referring to the dinner Herr Miguel, the imperial Minister of Finances, gave on Friday last, at which the Emperor, Chan cellor Capri vi, several ministers and a num ber of members of the Iieichstag were pres ent, says that upon the occasion referred to the reports circulated as to tne possibility of a general European disarmament were the subjects of some hilarity. Tbe Lmperor, according to the newspaper referred to, remarked that Uermany was satisfied and had no thoughts of fresh conquests. It was possible, tho Emperor is said to have added, that smokeless powder would eventually result in terminating the era of war, and. although there existed no question in regard to disarmament, tbe new conditions of warfare rendered warlike developments improbable.' i One Hundred Miners Killed, London, Jan. 21. Newt has been re ceived here of a terrific explosion of fire damp in a colliery at Jasinowat, near the city of Charkow, in European Kussia. Only meagre details of the accident have been learned, but it is known that over a hundred of the miners have been killed. British Views of the Negro Question. London. Jan. 21. The Times, in an edi torial on the subject of negro emigration from America, asks whether the prosecution of a race war be cheaper than the further ance of a negro exodus. It says: "The emi gration proposal is sure to offend manv. both in America and England, but the crit ics may fairly be called to describe this alternative settlement as equally permanent and honorable. It is an extreme measure, only to be justified by a serious condi tion of allairs, but such, in toe opinion of a caref nl observer, who baa long been there, is the condition of the. Southern States. The gloomiest predictions as to the recon struction policy of the Republicans have been fulfilled, and it is especially theirduty to bestir themselves and endeavor to put mn An1 h ohrnnln Hlin.ia, onH n..!1 It Brave Americans Recognized.

Jen kins, a deputy United States marshal and soldier of the regular army, arrived in this city at 5:10 p. M.. in charge of Seven Bears, an Indian chief, and a nephew of Sitting Bulb He stated that the govern ment was undertaking to impress npon the mind of the half savage chief that this is a large country and f nil of pale faces and let this fact be communicated to his tribe, rith a view of discouraging future trouble. There are five other chiefs in different parts of the United States that are being shown the country for the same reason. Seven Bears is a savage-looking Indian, fully six feet tall, understands no English, and when eighteen years of age lost his left arm in a fight with one of his tribe. He was taken to Hartsville, this county, tonight, at which place Mr. Jenkins has some friends. The two will return to this city to-morrw and go to Louisville. Movements of Troops at Pine Ridge. Pine Ridge, S. D., Jan. 21. This morn ing all the troops, with the exception of the First Infantry, broke camp and moved to the hanks of Craven creek, about four miles south ol tho agency. The First Infantry remains on the site it has occupied for the last two months, a short distance from the agent's quarters. The present site places the Indians between the troops and the agency. The red-skins look upon this move with apprehension, and have accordingly doubled their pickets and are preparing for an emergency. uenerai urooKe nas estaDiisneu nis ueauquarters in the camp, while General Miles remains at the agency. About 120 Brule Sioux have abandoned the Ogallala camp and established a camp of their own preparatory to returning to Rosebud, under Captain Lee, of the Ninth Infantry. . It has at length been decided tnat tne First Infatry. Colonel Shafter, of San Francisco, and four troops of the Ninth In fantry, Colonel Henry, will remain at the agency after tbe main body of soldiers shall have been ordered home. With regard to the criticism which Gen. Miles's method of disarming the Indians has evoked, that gentleman says that the work has proceeded satisfactorily.andthat he will continue to disarm them in his way. and take his own time to do it, so that the work may be effective. There was an issue of beef to-day. and 5.100 Indians were sup plied according to agent Pierce's new method, which gives twenty-two people as much meat as formerly given to thirty.

Mrs. Follett contracted to sell Foster -J00.000 worth of land in Indiana, but backed out when the land advanced greatly in value, and this suit resulted. In Indiana, under the statutes, a contract made by a married woman is void, but in Illinois it is legal, and the question is, whether Mrs. Follett can be sued here for a breach of a contract made in relation to Indiana lands.

THE WHOLE LIKE TIED UP

Not a Wheel Moving on the Chicago & Erie from One End to the Other. Freight, Passenger, and Even Hail Trains Abandoned En Route Statements Made by the Officers of the Company. Special to the Indianapolis JonrnaL Huntington, Ind., Jan. 2L The strike on the Chicago & Erie railway at this point last night by the Order of Railway Conductors in connection with the traindispatchers, has proved very effective. All through and local freights have been abandoned, and the efforts to run passenger trains have been failures. The first passenger train from Chicago this morning, due here at 1 o'clock, got no further than Hammond, where the coaches were detached by the switchman. The company refused to run the mi carnhrough, although the trainmen stood ready to take it out, alleging that their contract with the government calls for them to handle the mail only on regular trains and an engine and mail-car could not be called a regular train. The coaches on train No. 1, from Marion, O., due here at 2 o'clock, were detached at Decatur, and the engine and mail-car only came through. It was also abandoned at this point. Train No. 5 reached here at 5 o'clock, but when it started out with a train-master acting as conductor the air-brakes were set, and the engineer backed the train to the depot and declined to make a second attempt. At 8 o'clock the train is still in the yards. The strike is creating intense interest, and the announcement this afternoon that the shops in this city will be closed indefinitely to-morrow adds to the excitement. The reason assigned is that if no revenue is derived from road business there is no money for shop expenses. The company has also issued notice that all conductors that are members of the Order of Kailway Conductors who refuse to go out with trains will be considered as bavins resigned and that vacancies will be filled by promotion of resident trainmen, if possible, nut as the trainmen also refuse to take trains, but few promotions are expected. The indications this evening all point to a fierce struggle. Rumors are current that engineers are being discharged who refuse to take trains out with other than brotherhood conductors and it is claimed that all the organized orders will take part in the strike. General Superintendent Moorehead, of the Erie system, is here and is directing the affairs of tho company, while the employes' side of the controversy is in the bands of a committee acting under orders of Grand Chief Conductor Clark, who remains at Chicago. The railroad, in anticipation of trouble, has made arrangements with the P., C. & St. L. to handle all passenger and perishable business east and west via Urbana and Mansfield. A special dispatch from Fort Wayne says: "The trainmen have taken up the cause of the train-dispatchers, and refuse, to take orders for the movement of trains from any but the old men." Statements of Officers. CniCAC.o, Jan. 2L General Manager Tucker, of the Chicago & Erie railroad, made the following statement to an Associated Press reporter this afternoon in regard to the strike of dispatchers and conductors on that line: "There are six dispatchers and from fifteen to thirty conductors on strike. Every one of our passenger trains has moved on time to-day except the North Judson, Ind., accommodation. We are not trying to move any freight trains, and shall not do so until the situation develops. If not a wheel turns on the Chicago. & Erie 6griiff.-the term. of my natural life that man Scott will not be reinstated. If the company was wron g in the matter it would acknowledge it and put the man back, but it is right, and we propose to stay right. We expect the few men out will see their mistake and go to work x a gain. They have no real grievances. Some of our wires were cot last night east of Huntington, Ind. That shows the real animus of some of the parties concerned in this thing." First Vice-president Middleton, of the New York & Erie railway, said, this afternoon: "Under no circumstances will Disf catcher Scott be reinstated. By his careessness freight trains were nearly wrecked. Such conduct cannot be tolerated. The dispatchers' places have been filled, and those of the conductors will be inside of twenty-four hours. Scott is secretary of the Order of Railroad Conductors and Dispatchers, hence the sympathy expressed tor him by his associates. Scott has been found to be unreli&ble before this. This last error was made at Huntington, Ind., when he issued a lap order. A catastrophe was averted by the merest chance." The Chicago strikers to-day made an effort to induce the yardmen and switchmen to join in the strike. In this they were unsuccessful. "I desire to state," added Mr. Tucker, "most emphatically that no such idea has ever been entertained by this company as sending Pinkerton men to any point on our svstem. The report to the contrary is entirely unfounded." Firemen Not Authorized to Strike. Terre Haute, Ind., Jan. 21. Grand Master Sargent, of tbe Brotherhood of Locomo tive Firemen, said this afternoon that he had given no order for a strike of the firemen on the Chicago & Erie road. The only information he had of any trouble was a telegram received last night from Huntington, Ind., asking him to come there at once. Any grievance, he said, must come to him in the manner prescribed by the constitution, and after every effort to amioably settle the difficulty has failed. This has not been done, and Mr. Sargent said that, under the rule recently adopted, any firemen going out on a strike without being authorized was liable to expulsion. Mr. Sarcrent eaya he will give tbe matter attention only after a grievanco has reached him in the proper manner. ' . Engineers Mind Their Own Business. Cleveland, O., Jan. 21. Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, was questioned to-day concerning the truth of the reports that the engineers of the Chicago & Erie were likely to strike in sympathy with the operators on that line. "The engineers have no grievances against the Erie that have reached this otlice," said Mr. Arthur. "All their grievances were settled some time ago." "Is it a fact that they may go out to help the operators in their strike!" was asked. "We generally try to mind our own business," was Mr. Arthur's significant reply. 'i Resignation of Mr.'X.nck. Chicago, Jan. 21. The threatened strike of the two thousand employes of the SouthBide cable road was averted this evening. Assistant Superintendent Luck, the alleged advocate of cheap labor, tendered his resignation to the directors, and it was unanimously accepted, Mr. Luck severing all connection with the company forthwith. The War Against Union Telegraphers. , Barron, Wis., Jan. 21. Tbe "Soo" line has issued a circular to all telegraph operators and agents on that line requesting those who belong to the order of Railroad Telegraphers cither to withdraw from that organization and sign an agreement to that effect or resign their positions. Tile-Makers Win a Strike. Pittsburg, Pa,, Jan. 21. The tile-makers' strike, which has been in progress for the past three weeks, has ended in favor of the men. Their scale of wages for 1801 will be $4 per day for first-class men, $3.50 for second-class men, and from 1.50 to $2 for helpers. . The Strike on the St- PuL Chicago, Jan. 2L The situation to-day in the St. Paul telegraph operators' strike

was rather discouraging for the men, ten of them having returned to work yesterday. Their committee, however, still seemed to think the men might yet win. I

SENATE IS STILL IX A TANGLE. fConelnded from First Page. Mr. Hoar says: "In that assembly (the Senate of the United States) ' speech is absolutely unfettered. This is of immense importance, no t only to the perfection of legislation, but also to the dignity of the Senate, and. in my opinion, to civil liberty itself." He also referred to articles, in Republican newspapers all over the country, and even in New England, in condemnation of the elections bill. Mr. Frye asked him what New England Republican newspaper opposed the bill. Mr. Vest mentioned the Boston Advertiser and expressed, his belief that Boston was in New England. It is in New England." said Mr. Frye. "I believe so." said Mr. Vest; "I believe it is near Plymouth Rock, as to which somebody has said: The nilgrims landed and fell on their knees And then fell on the aborigines. Laughter. He went on to say that if he were speaking as a partisan he would thank the promoters of this measure to pass it. If he sought simply the supremacy of the party to which he belonged be would thank God, and would never "look a gift-horse in the mouth." He was not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet; but he would say that if Republican Senators passed the bill, and especially as they proposed to pass it by trampling on the rules of the Senate, not five States of tbe Union would give their electoral votes to the Republican party in the next presidential election. He might be asked why, then, he opposed its passage. He opposed it because he honestly believed, knowing the South as he did, knowing his race as he did, knowing the negroes of the South as he did, that the bill would cause destruction to material interests, would cause alienation and would cause innumerable evils, and he would be a criminal if he looked to partisan advantage instead of to the good of the entire country. He warned Republican Senators that they were playing with edged tools, and they might indict a mortal wound on the South and on the whole country. At 6 o'clock a motion to adjourn was lost. Mr. Harris suggested the absence of a quorum and expressed tbe opinion that the business of the Senate ought not to proceed and that the Senator from Missouri should not be required to speak to empty desks. The presiding officer Mr. Blair directed the roll to be called, when thirty members responded. Then, on motion of Mr. Aldrlch, the Sergeant-at-arms was directed to request the attendance of absent members. Mr. Gibson moved an adjournment, which was voted down. At 7:40 a quorum had responded, and Mr. Vest was about to resume the floor, when Mr. Cockrell suggested that, although a quorum of Senators may have answered, they were not now present. The presiding officer, in consequence of the suggestion, ordered the roll to be called, and on tbe call forty-one Senators answered four less than a quorum. The Sergeant-at-arms was again directed to request the attendance of absent Senators. It took fifteen minutes to secure a quorum, and Mr. Vest continued his speech until 8:30, when the quorum disappeared again. From then until midnight the time of the Senate was taken up in roll-calls, in obtaining the attendance of absent Senators and in the delivery of Mr. Vest's speech in sections. At 12 o'clock the Senate adjourned, leaving the subject of the approval of Tuesday's journal to come no again to-morrow. Business Embarrassments. Chicago, Jan. 2L George M.

,TIIE BEIHUXG SEA CASE. Unnecessary Stir Over m Stratagem That May Come to Nothing. T. C. Crawford, in New York Tribune. All of the small fry politicians are cackling with ecstasy over the motion made by the British minister in the Supreme Court as a counter-stroke directedjagainst the policy of Mr. Blaiue in theBehriug sea controversy. It is humiliating to think that there are so many people in this country so narrow in their partisan spite that they become disloyal and unpatriotio in order to gratify that spite. The little partisans who shout the loudest over the so-called strategy of the British minister would doubtless be indignant enough if they were called Anglo-maniacs, who exaggerate their friendship for a country which despises people who toady to it and confines its regard to those who have enough selfrespect to stand up against Great Britain in matters of legitimate dispute. In this Behring sea controversy there are only two views the American view and the English. The policy of the administration in sustaining the American view has been the policy of preceding administrations, whether Republican or Democratic There should be no politics in it. The British minister, who doubtless congratulates himself upon the fact of having made a brilliant move by attempting to transfer this case to the Supreme Court, should not be in too much haste to congratulate himself. A prominent lawyer who is familiar with the practice of the Supreme' Court and its traditions said to me to-day: 'Nothing hut ignorance on the part of the English minister of our institutions would have led him to bring such a suit. There is nothing more permanently established in the traditions of our legal and legislative history than the separation of the three branches which go to make np our government. The legislative, the executive and the judicial parts of tbe government are separate powers, and tbe separation has been, and will be, most jealously guarded. The question involved in this case is one of executive action, and you may be sure, as it is executive action under international law, the Supreme Court will sternly refuse to interfere. It requires no prophet to make a prediction that this case, so triumphantly presented as a master-stroke by the English Minister, will be peremptorily thrown out by the Supreme Court. The English Minister has made this move to conceal the sense of defeat at the hands of Mr. Blaine, at the State Department. To a certain extent the attempt to try tbe case at another tribunal is a confession of weakness. Tbe British case, as presented at the Supreme Court, is nothing more nor less than a case of pettifogging. Such tactics would do very well before a rural jury in a provincial court, but when they are attempted in such a tribunal as the Supreme Court a rebuke will be administered which will not by any means strengthen the position of the English Minister before the public It is almost inconceivable that Lord Salisbury could have authorized such a stupid procedure, and, of course, it must hare been authorized, or Sir Julian Pauncefote would not have presumed to present the case. The Supreme Court cannot go into the case. It is wholly outside of its province. It is one entirely for diplomatio negotiation. "Look over the history of all international disputes, and you will see that they are settled in only one way. Imagine for one moment England rushing into a German court to try a question of right under a diplomatio dispute. Their policy is thoroughly in accord with the prevailing idea that we are a young and inexperienced people, and that we can be humbugged by a certain assumption of authority. It is a continuance of the . traditional policy of Great Britain toward us. It is a policy based on stupid ignorance of our affairs, of our institutions, and the spirit of our people, lhis is further aggravated by a contempt lor our lack of military and naval power. This traditional policy of Great Britain toward ns has led to two wars. It is not among the impossibilities that we shall have, some day, the third war. Nobody on either side wants it, but the combination of stupidity, ignorance and arrogance displayed by the British Foreign Otlice on all questions of dispute may some day make the requisite blunder which will produce the explosion. ' This Behring sea controversy will undoubtedly go to a high court of arbitration. The British authorities see that, with the magnificent presentation of the American side made by Mr. Blaine, they have no case, and that the decision must be against them. It is really that side which fears arbitration. This attempt to plead almost a new issue and to put it in such form as to obtain possibly some sot of negative indorsement from the Supreme Court'isonly a part of the policy of the British Foreign Office to bolster up a weak case, before the future arbitrators. It is strange that there should be any one in this country either so weak-minded or so unpatriotic as to take pride in any so-called strategy displayed by the British Minister. 1 have no doubt that the Supreme Court will at an early day hand this case back to Sir Jnlian and refer.him to tbe State Department, where Lord Salisbury has been so adroitly and ably discomfited." SENATOR SAWYER'S HOME. Elegance, Ease and Comfort In His Palatial Washington Residence. Washington Special in Chicago Pott, Senator Sawyer's new mansion is the talk of Washington. It is a marvel of elegance and comfort interiorly, and its location sets off its fine exterior to the best advantage. It is .situated on Connecticut avenue, at the intersection of Twentieth and B streets, and faces the south and the west. A N massive atone portico commands the main entrance, which is reached by broad stone steps. The outer and inner doors are of solid oak and are hung on heavy old-fashioned iron hinges. The bouse is laid out, decorated and furnished in a most novel and elegant style. The hall, drawing-rooms, parlors, dining-room, ball-room, library and bed chambers are each in a different style. The hall is spacious and lofty aud the coloring is in terra cotta. It has a tower on the right, from the window of which one ob tains a good view of the avenue. Fine poitraits of Senator Sawyer and his late wife hang from the wall. The rose parlor, as the front drawingroom is called, is a marvel of beautiful ornamentation, designed by Dora Wheeler, the artist. The ceiling is paneled and is covered with yellow and pink roses, and tho room is bordered by a deep fringe of roses in all colors. A representation of tbe goddess of roses on canvas is seen over the mirror on the top of the chimney breast. ihe furniture and carpets are works of art. A portrait of Mrs. Howard White, daughter of Mr. Sawyer, in an elegant Directoire dress of white satin, hangs on the walk It is by William Mciirath. Ihe.-eis also a picture of her little son. Sawyer White, who died when he was two years old. The blue room adjoins the rose parlor. and the walls are hung with blue silk bro caded with thistles. Ihe wood work is in dull gilt, and there is a frieze of gold and silver in the hand relief. Tbe upholstering of the furniture is allot blue, though of dif ferent fabrics. Off this room, and separated from it by blue portieres is tbe diningroom. The ceiling aud walls are of dark mahogany. Above the paneling area series of oil paintings forming a Irieze and representing cupids and pea fowl playing. The hangings are of peacock blue, with a border of beetle wings sewed od like jewels. and tbe chairs are covered with light terra cotta colored embossed velvet. The pendant lamps are of crystal and wrought china. The ball-room is gotten up in Moorish style, designed from drawings of a room in the Alhambra which attracted Mrs. White's attention during a visit to Spain. The draperies, hangings, divans, the walls laid ,K rrnA a nil thai f ri.Tu with itm htnA anrl niiu k.a .w ,. ,u utiu scarlet hues, give the ball-room an entirely Oriental character.

A prominent Democrat who attended the meeting of the Democratic Club of I'hiladelphia. held in that city on the 8th instant, in speaking of the affair, said to a party of Congressmen to-night: "On Thursday, Jan. 8. Jackson's day was celebrated in Philadelphia. It was celebrated, on the one hand, by a banquet to Grover Cleveland at the Academy of Music, which ladies attended, in full dress, to see the modern school of Democrats eat. and, on the other hand, by the Democratic club of that city, with an old-fashioned rnass-rnecting, at which distinguished members of Congress who had taken an active part in the November campaign gave an account of their work. The meeting of the club was a real old-fashioned Jackson gathering, such as Sain Randall was wont to address in his youth. It was composed of the men who did tho work in the recent political campaign. Tbe gathering at the) Academy of Music was a fashionable affair, composed of men who didn't do much, if any. work during tho campaign, and whose only object in meeting was to glorify themselves. Their purpose was to lay tho underground wires to snatch thejresults of the labors of others. The best part of tho allalr," continued the P. D., "was the circa lation during tbe evening of a card bearing; the following legend: : Greatest Show on KearthU : ; Only Ten Dollars : : to 8oe ; The Fat Man Eat : ; Academy Of Music, Jan. 8, '91, 8 P. K. : "The card prodnced great laughter, ant every one votea tnat it was a true oul a Western member, who cannot swallow tho pretensions of Cleveland, on reading the card said: 'Here, give me one of the cards. I want to add a line or two.' This is what he wrote: 'This is one of the series of prize shows to be exhibited throughout tne country, the debut having taken place at the Keform Club dinner in New York, which was seen and applauded by hundreds of tbe fair eex. It will appear at Cbicsgo, Cincinnati, St. Louis and elsewhere in the West during; tbe season" An Object-Lesson Hug jested. Chicago Journal. The murder of Few Tails and fonr of his baud is denounced by Indians and whites alike, and is making the Indians at Pine Kidge uneasy again. But are troops out after those cowboys! Thehauginc of themurderers in sight of tbe Indians wculoy have a more wholesome ellect than a hundred peace talks. A Tough Conundrum. Richmond Palladium. The Democrats can't even run a penitentiary without defrauding the people, or manage an insane hospital without permitting murder within it.
